Data Cult Audio 0196 - Aelk Minsur

About: Aelk Minsur has been experimenting with sound since he was 16 years old and manipulated field recordings have always played a central part. It started off with recording friends at house parties, hiding micro cassette recorders under bus stop benches, or tapping telco junction boxes in neighborhood alleyways that would capture candid and occasionally illicit phone conversations. He would then edit these recordings on hardware samplers and 4 track cassette recorders to create a library of sounds to use in his music. Fast forward 20 years and field recordings still play a vital role but are now captured primarily from construction sites, warehouses and factories where he works as an industrial electrician. This set was created especially for Data Cult and features the signature aspects found throughout Aelk Minsur’s work – heavy beats, textured synths, and mangled found-sound.
